[darktable-user] DT 4.6 crash on copy & import

2024-01-23 Thread Frank J.
Before you upgrade from Darktable 4.4 to 4.6.0 please switch *off* the 
option "/recursive directory/" in the import-dialog window.


If this option is on, DT will freeze when attemting to copy & import.

If you have already upgraded you can't switch it from the gui, because 
the option is in the window that freezes.
Then edit "~/.config/darktable/darktablerc" and change 
"ui_last/import_recursive=TRUE" to "FALSE".

There is an option in the storage part 'look for updated XMP file on 
startup'.

Is it enabled on your Linux system?
Maybe this will help?

No, this Option works every time at the start of Darktable and compares 
all imported pictures for changes (from an other instance?).


This is not necassary when importing *new* pictures (without or with 
.xmp) into the system. There is no old version to compare.

Re: [darktable-user] Darktable on xubunbu 22.04 / wayland / nvidia: Recommended or not?

I wish to be wrong, but color management in Wayland may still have a 
long way to go [1].


...

1. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/467


Now I get an idea, what the reason for my problems may be.

Because Ubuntu 20.04 on my mashine had some problems on startup, last 
week I decided to do the LTS-upgrade earlier then 22.04.1 is released on 
4th August.

I got DT 4.0 from PPA "unbuntuhandbook".
After upgrade to some new nvidia-drivers, the openCL-Support in DT was 
fixed.


But one of my displays (EIZO) seemed to be out of calibration, it looks 
a bit too green after the upgrade.


I found, that DisplayCAL (3.8.x) is not longer in the sources in 22.04 
because of the dependencies to python 2, with is not longer supported.
But there is a new projekt "DisplayCAL-PY3" porting the code to python 
3. It can be installed with "pip install DisplayCAL" which gives you a 
version 3.9.6, still in progress but works.


The calibration of my new ASUS-display was done in half an hour. But the 
calibration of my older EIZO (has run more then 8000 hours), takes 2 
days with many attempts. Each run with other results, some lookes green, 
some looked magenta, some had bad messages.
Sometimes even the hardware-defined RGB-start-point drifted from one 
attempt to the next.


Each time the result was different, the colors seemed to be "unstable". 
I worried, the last days of my diplay has come.


At least (after a dozen tries) I got a icc-profile that seems to work.

May this problems result from an unstable implementation of 
colormanagement in wayland in Ubuntu 22.04?

Or should I begin to save some money for a new display?
Why does Ubuntu do an upgrade to a system without a stable colormanagement?

Re: [darktable-user] Setting up darktable newly from scratch

2022-07-10 Thread Frank J.

Hallo Peter,
a new setup and a new import will take long time and maybe the result is 
nearly the same as before because database and xmp-files "should have" 
the same content.

But you will loose your preferences, styles, preview-cache, ...


> some things were .. not copyed

You can use "preferences / storage / look for updated xmp files on 
startup" to synchronize the database with the xmp's.
Changes on pictures, done with a second system (laptop/desktop) will be 
imported.
Switch to "on", restart darktable, switch "off" after sync for a quicker 
start.



> a lot of unnecessary things have accumulated in the database.

Have a look at "history stack" / "compress history".
This will delete all iterations and attempts and reduce the stack to the 
final result.

(This compression will not happen with a re-import.)

To clean up you can manually delete unused styles or unused tags 
(assigned to 0 pictures).

To address your specific questions:

do you not pull all of a focus-stacking series into one directory?
simply group on the single directory, no lua necessary.
fwiw: that is my workflow.



I import the pictures of one day in one directory.

For grouping manually OR for moving groups of pictures into other dirs 
you have to analyse the time. Sometimes the series are very similar, 
only some parameters have changed like the focus-step-width or the

The time-gab inside a series is mostly less then 1 second and the time

You select one of the tag-filtered pictures and switch the

What Darktable is actually showing you is that your images are
underexposed, and you can expose farther to the right and still have
highlights that are not blown. You will come to appreciate this if you
have the patience. You cannot trust your in camera histogram for
exposure, this is a fact.

Hi,
When I import a  series of images straight from the camera (Nikon

images invariably show up as way too dark, as if they are 
underexposed. The histogram shows a big unexposed part on the

exposure is about right (according to the camera histogram). The 
camera-generated jpg is also ok.

What can be the cause of this and what can I do about it?

Same effect here.

I use Olympus-cameras, RAW only, correction +/- 0 EV in the Camera.

After importing in DT the default in module "exposure" is "+0.5 EV" but 
this is too dark for nearly all pictures.


I need to use a correction between +1.5 and +2.5 EV for the best look.

This is not new in DT 3.8 but in 3.6 (or 3.4?) with the change to 
scene-referred workflow.


I never compared with camera JPG.

[darktable-user] history / Filmic RGB random reversions & resets

2020-06-02 Thread Frank
I can confirm the "disappearing" adjustments on MacOS. I'm running a very
modern machine on Catalina and version 3.0.2

I notice at times that when I use filmic, color balance and local contrast,
things become unstable. I sometimes see the multiple instances of modules
mentioned, even though I absolutely have not duplicated the instance, and
if I try to go back one step and compress, the "new" instance will not go
away.

More disturbing is that when the darkroom module gets in this
unstable mode, if I click farther down on the history stack to see where I
was before adjustments, boom, all adjustments disappear without clicking
compress history OR making any other adjustments.

I haven't been able to figure out how to force this to happen, so I also
haven't filed a bug report or captured a screencast. I know some of these
modules are under heavy work so I'm just hoping that it is something that
will work it's way out through bug fixes

Am 19.04.20 um 20:48 schrieb J. Paul Bissonnette:

Is focus stacking possible in  darktable 3.0.2?
I am using an Olympus OM D E-M5 mark 2 with the latest firmware.
The reason I am asking is that the stacked jpg made by the camera is so
much clearer than the stacked dng file from darktable.
I maybe doing this all wrong I am assuming that focus stacking is a
form of HDR and used the Create HDR button.




Hallo Paul,
I do focus-stacking with the following workflow:

1. Export minimal pre-processed pictures of the stack from darktable 
into a folder.


2. Align the stack with control-points

3. Compose the final picture from sharp parts

4. copy exif-tags to the result (time, camera)

5. re-import the result into darktable for final processing


Examples:

1.
You can crop the pictures but all must habe the same size.
Use copy history stack for all pictures.
You can use 16bit TIFF for better quality.

2.
align_image_stack -v -m -a algn 20200420_0001.tif 20200420_0002.tif 
20200420_0003.tif


Without "-a " the dt-exports are overwritten with aligned versions.
With "-p file" a *.pto is created. That is a hugin-Projekt for manual 
interaction.


3.
enfuse "$@" --exposure-weight=0 --saturation-weight=0 \
  --contrast-weight=1 --hard-mask --contrast-window-size=5 \
  --compression=92 --output=stacked.jpg  algn*.tif



Hugin can be used as a GUI to manually define some 
inclusion-/exclusion-masks for step 3. But most stacking is well done 
without hugin.

Step 3 can be done from hugin-gui.

There is a LUA-Script "enfuse professional" to assist you in this 
workflow. It can be found at:

https://www.multimedia4linux.de/index.php/bildbearbeitung/darktable/darktable-plugin-enfuse-professional

But this LUA-Script will not work for a stack from your "Olympus OM-D 
E-M5 Mk.III" in some cases.


The reason is: Olymus has two modes for focus-stacking

 A. Focus-BKT ON, but Focus-Stacking OFF
 B. Focus-BKT ON, and Focus-Stacking ON

Mode A will take a set auf RAW-Pictures. Beginning with the focussed 
point, moving to the background. This will work with LUA "enfuse 
professional".


Mode B will take a set of RAW and JPG and will process the stacked 
picture in the camera as JPG, as you described.
The first picture will be taken at the focussed point. Then the focus 
jumps nearer and then stepwise to the back.
Before processing this stack with "align_image_stack" in step 3 you have 
to *sort this pictures by focus-point*.
"align_image_stack" compares the pictures pair-wise in the given order 
to find the control-points. The first taken picture will not match with 
the second (nearest). The position of the first picture will be skipped. 
It is possible that the two pictures before and after this position 
don't have overlapping sharp areas when this area is very small.


When using the LUA-Script "enfuse professional" you have no chance to 
manually sort the pictures by "fucus-point" without renaming the pictures.


Therefore I dont use "enfuse professional" but small shell-scripts 
(*.sh) on my Linux-System.


A correction with hugin is not possible when using "enfuse 
professional". The aligned files are in /tmp and will be deletet. No 
chance for taking them for a hugin-project.


Take care not to use lens-correction twice, in darktable and in the 
LUA-Script.


The results auf "align_image_stack" + "enfuse" are better then the 
internal stacking of the camera.

I got some results on stacks where the camera fails to stack.

Good luck.

the foldername in "collect images"/"folders" is stroked thru.
There is a context (right mouseclick) "search filmroll" for a dialog to 
show DT the new location. This will heal the database-entries for all 
pictures in the folder.

[darktable-user] Troubles with grouping

2020-03-06 Thread Frank
DT 3.0.0 - MacOS

I'm having trouble with grouping behavior and specifically selecting the
image to be used as the thumbnail.

When I select a set of images and GROUP, I see the G symbol at the top of
each image. However if I click the G symbol in the header to "close" the
group, then click it again to "open" the group, the G symbol on the
thumbnails disappears, making it impossible to select the "key" image for
the group.

I find the interaction of the group command and the G toggle to be
confusing. If the G toggle is ON (collapse groups) and I select images and
choose the GROUP command, I get a yellow box around then all and the G
symbol on each, but they remain OPEN (not collapsed). If I then click the G
toggle, they remain open and surrounded with a yellow box, but the symbol
disappears. If I click the G toggle again, they collapse and I see a G
symbol on the key image. Any time I toggle groups open or collapsed after
this and I do not see the G symbol when open, making it impossible to
select the key image.

[darktable-user] All black image with some modules

2020-02-25 Thread Frank
I have noticed this same behavior on MacOS. I have NOT re-ordered the
modules

As an example I was working on an image using tone equalizer, then opened
color balance to change saturation. When I started to try and adjust
individual sliders in HSL or RGBL the image went completely black.
Resetting the module still left everything black. I turned the module off
and the image returned to normal, as soon as I turn it on the image goes
black, even without making any adjustments.

Similarly, using local contrast had the same effect. It was fine then
suddenly while making adjustments everything went black, not I can't even
turn it on without the image going black. I have found if I switch to
bilateral grid it works, but local laplacian does not.

I can provide some experience with a testsystem running manjaro and

According to the description: "OpenCL userspace driver as provided in

collect iamges/folders: a root-folder includes sub-folders without

Have a look at the shotcuts:

"z" zooms to "full" (picture = screen).
Thats ~25% (depending on camara and screen), but not 100%.

"cntr + z" adds focus-detection to this.

While holding "z" the arrow-keys (<--  -->) can be used to go to the

To kill the orphanes after deleting in table "styles" with DB-Browser

If only some of the data is deleted from a database, it might end up

To avoid inconsistences it is possible to use functions of the database.
For this case "N items related to 1 style" I suggest to add a "foreign 
key contraint" to ~/.config/darktable/data.db


SQL:

-- At first we need an index:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX styles_idx ON styles (id);

-- Second we need a foreign-key-constraint:
-- The easy way - like in postgreSQL - does not work in SQLite:
ALTER TABLE style_items
  ADD FOREIGN KEY (styleid)
  REFERENCES styles (id)

-- So we have to go the harder way:

PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
-- SELECT type, sql FROM sqlite_master WHERE tbl_name='style_items';
CREATE TABLE new_style_items (
  styleid INTEGER,

  blendop_params BLOB,
  blendop_version INTEGER,

INSERT INTO new_style_items

 FROM style_items;
DROP TABLE style_items;
ALTER TABLE new_style_items RENAME TO style_items;
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON;

-- SQL End

The result: Deleting a row in Table "styles" will also delete all 
related items in table "style_items".

No orphaned rows will be left there.

I did not test this change whith my primary database and darktable

The system mounts the card with a card reader.

Pointing DT to the mount point is only possible with "import folder".
This will leave the fotos on the card and write the moint-point-path to

Thank you Tobias,
It works now and it finds a lot of unused thumbs in the cache.

PS.
The second script 'purge_non_existing_images.sh' worked fine.
It grabbed some Photos that are shown as scull. I removed them manually
with darktable.
It grabbed also some entries in the database that are not visible in
darktable. Maybe my database was corrupted in a crash?
I removed them with parameter "-p".

Hi Patrick,

 

I  have manually deleted the file from the virus chest in Avast, as well as
all reference to where I had installed on the D: drive.

Re-downloaded the Darktable install file, updated again the Avast program,
engine and virus definitions.

I have now tried re-installing to a different location with a different
name.

As I initially used d:\Program Files\Darktable 2.4.0\to which I have
changed to d:\Program Files\Darktable\

 

Funnily enough the "error opening file..." Dialog box has disappeared and
now the program fully installs without error.

 

Maybe Avast has rectified something in their virus definitions but even with
a file, directory and whole PC virus scan

No errors or virus signature comes up.

 

I have seen nothing else in the forums either, so, obviously it's something
with me. 

 

With no errors and no virus, I guess it's very safe to say that it must have
been a false positive.

 

I am sorry to trouble you, and thanks for the advice.

required clarification.

2018-01-01 Thread Frank
Hello Patrick.

 

Thank you for helping me.

 

I went to this URL:  https://www.darktable.org/install/and chose of
course the Microsoft Windows option.

There is no checksum that I could see from this URL. Have I missed it
somewhere?

 

The file location is listed below:

https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/download/release-2.4.0/d
arktable-2.4.0-win64.exe

 

After executing the install near the end my Avast popped up a dialog box
with the error  code / virus as listed below.

 

I had found something in another forum:

"Thank you for letting us know the status. IDP generic means that the
detection was detected by an Identity Protection 

detection component and it is a generalized file that got detected. This can
either be a false positive as well which 

happened due to an out dated definitions and got fixed after updating AVG."

 

I had initially thought it might have been a false positive, and so just
required clarification.

 

I have re-downloaded Darktable and have tried to re-install (after
uninstalling previous one) but with the following error:

 



 

 

Thanks.

 

Kind Regards,

Hallo,
I tried to clean my cache with

It doesn't work for me because it didn't find my cache directory.

A variable part of the path is processed with

in line 84.
This calculates not the cache-path used from darktable.

Hi Tobias,
yes I see the timestamp.
I did some additional tests and found out what I did wrong.

The separator in the date-part of the timestamp should be ":" and not "-".
When I change the "Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal" in the source-file
again, then remove from DT and re-import, then the timestamp is not only
visible and sortable but also translated to the german date-format.

And: It is used for the $-templates on export.

Sorry for the noise! My mistake.

[darktable-user] Issue with timestamp on export

2017-09-15 Thread Frank J.
Hi,

for sorting the exported JPGs by year and month, I want to include the
timestamp, when the picture was taken, into the filename on export.

The templates "$(EXIF_YEAR)_$(EXIF_MONTH)_$(EXIF_DAY)" from
http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch02s03s12.html.php seemed to be
right for this.
This works fine for pictures (RAW, JPG) that were taken with digital
cameras.

But my DT-archive includes 40 years of work since I scanned all my old
slides with a NIKON Coolscan 4000 ED.

I found, that I have to set for example
 $ exiv2 -M"set Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal '1978-09-01 00:00:00'" \
   dia_f037_b0[1-9].jpg
BEFORE I import the scanned JPGs into DT.

Not "Exif.Image.DateTime" but only "Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal" sets
the right timestamp in the database-column "images.datetime_taken" on
IMPORT.

But for this scanned pictures the templates "$(EXIF_YEAR)" etc. on
EXPORT do not work.
It seems "import" and "export" use different exif-time-values.


How can I use the values from the database-column
"images.datetime_taken" for the filename on export?

Hi,
 try to edit the lensfun-data in "/usr/share/lensfun".

In file "compact-panasonic.xml" the entry


Panasonic
DMC-LX100
panasonicDMCLX100
2.21


Points to:

   panasonicDMCLX100

Add a new -File (or edit in compact-leica.xml?).

Copy model "DMC-LX100" as model "Leica D-Lux typ 109" into the new file.
Copy panasonicDMCLX100 into the new file.

The model must match exactly the text from the exif-Data.

Your changes will be erased with the next update of lensfun. Make a copy.
If it works, give a ticket to the lensfun-projekt.

For a while the name of my new mft-lens did not match excatly between
lensfun-data and exif-data. Editing this files helped my using
lens-correction in darktable until the error was fixed in lensfun.

There's no internal data to answer this question.

Hi,
I'm a simple user, not a developer. So I don't really know, what is
planned for the future. But I think the rule is very simple:

As in every other programm with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) actions
from mouse-clicks or shortcuts are targeted to SELECTED objects.
So show the images in lighttable (icon "G" right on top of lighttable)
and select them. Then apply your tag to them.

Assigning tags to images, which are not selected and not even visible in
the gui would lead to unattended results.

It may be usefull to have different tags on the images of a group. How
can this be done when all images of a group gets always (silent in the
background) identical tags?

Deleted in the filesystem or only removed from Darktable?

Deleting directories is more then "settings".

Restore the deleted directories from a backup.
Restore also the darktable-Database from backup:
~/.config/darktable/library.db
~/.config/darktable/data.db


If only removed from darktable and *.xmp still there, try import/directory.

Re: [darktable-user] Printing Problem Epson ABW Mode

2017-03-16 Thread Frank
Not Darktable specific, but useful info

With special thanks to David Vincent-Jones I think I have figured out how
to make printing from Darktable useful on the Mac

The secret is that you need to go into the CUPS server page by pointing
your browser to http://localhost:631

Once there, you can find your printer and under the menu that says
Administration you will find “set default options”
Within these options I found all the various quality and paper type
settings from my driver.
By setting these IN ADVANCE and then printing, results were as I would
expect.

If you try to set the options and get a message about web administration
not enabled,
the error message will give you a command that you simply need to cut and
paste into a terminal window and execute.

Hope this is helpful. I can now get acceptable prints out of DT without
exporting first

OK this is strange, I cannot find this, but I know for certain that I

Re: [darktable-user] Printing Problem Epson ABW Mode

You are correct, in the background MacOS uses CUPS so one might think it
would be simple, however the system GUI provides an interactive tool to
control all the print quality settings, paper size, etc. This system print
dialog never comes up on a mac when printing from DT and when calling the
CUPS options in DT, the user gets a VERY long list of variables with 1-0
values which is not much help. If the DT print process just handed off to
the core system print resources and let the print dialog function as
normal, there would be no problem, but I guess this is also not so simple...

Epson only provide ICC profiles for certain high end printers. For consumer
printers this information is, I suppose, embedded in the driver software
and is not available to be used independently (I have examined the package
contents and not been able to find any ICC profiles). I have used an ICC
profile from another paper supplier designed for epson printers and this
did allow me to get soft proofing but did not help the printing situation
measurably.

Re: [darktable-user] Printing Problem Epson ABW Mode

2017-03-15 Thread Frank
I am also on a Mac, and I have had no success in printing from DT. I've
waded into the CUPS parameters, but without a table of settings and how
they correspond to the "normal" driver settings (which I cannot find
anywhere) I find it impossible to get results I am satisfied with.

This is a significant drawback, but I have simply added a step to my
workflow where I export a copy with all adjustments then either import this
into Apple Photos for printing and sharing on social media, or print it
directly from Preview or other image editing software. This uses additional
storage and also creates a situation where the JPEG and processed RAW are
out of sync.

I've resigned to the fact that DT is strictly for raw processing (which it
does extremely well) and browsing/cataloging (which is does adequately).

This may not be true on Linux, but on the Mac it is definitely the case
currently.

Hallo,
most the time I'm working with "collect images / *folders*"
rather then "collect images / film roll".
That works better for me. Maybe also for you?

There is an GUI option "number of folder levels to show in list" to
includes some sub-folders (with your HDR ...).

But there is a bug, that DT merges folders when one foldername is the
beginning of another one.
Example:
 ~/pictures/dt/2017/
 ~/pictures/dt/2017_A/

If you select "2017" you also see the pics in "2017_A".

I like to collect with *multiple criteria*, Example:
To see wich files need to get coordinates
"folder = ABC" exclude images "geotagging = tagged".
Then I see only the pictures to drop on the map.

I like to use *wildcards*, Example:

My scanned slides are named "slide_f999_p99.jpg".
Where f=Film and p=Picture in film and 99 = numbers.
To find all scanned slides from one film:
Collect Images: "filename = slide_f123_%".
Then I "select all" and tag filmtype and camera-model, which is not in

Maybe you changed a lot af pictures and then ended DT before the

I also move from SSD-Workroom to HDD-Archiv when the work is done.
But I use "Selected / Move"  (ausgewählte Bilder / verschieben) and not
remove/reimport.

Hallo,
I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on an "ashtray" [1].
This hardware has 2 powerfull GPUs.
But DT did'nt find a device for "OpenCL".

Which drivers must I install to get OpenCL-Support for Darktable?
"radeon" ist installed now.
"amdgpu-pro" is not installable, it has some conflicts.

Hallo,
I set the position in the Map in Darktable.
After export as JPEG your command "exiftool xxx.jpg | grep GPS" shows:

GPS Version ID   : 2.2.0.0
GPS Latitude : 53 deg 58' 22.08" N
GPS Latitude Ref : North
GPS Longitude: 14 deg 8' 47.19" E
GPS Longitude Ref: East
GPS Position : 53 deg 58' 22.08" N, 14 deg 8' 47.19" E

Visible difference is: In your version "E" and "N" (East and North, or
West and South?) is missing.
lat/lon-Koordinates not even need a value, but also a direction.

As far as I figured out, ist is not possible in Module "tagging".
But typing also searches for part of the text, not only the begin.

To browse the tags go to lighttable / collect images / tag.
First you see the grouped tags (group|sub-group|tag).
Last group is "uncategorized" where you find single-tags (without "|" ).

I have nearly 50K on my system.
I've no problems with watchching or developing my photos.

Export or creating thumbs is a bit slow because it's only an i3 with
graphics on board, no GPU. A'm working to change this soon ..

Slowest part, I think, is the tagging.
Maybe I'm tagging too much: place, persons, event, ...

For my old slide-scans I tag also film-type and camera-model, cause they
have no exif-data.

DT try to give my some intelligent suggestions while tagging.
For example: when I tag (the german word for) "house-cleaning", DT
suggests to tag also the name of my wife  ;-)
  - really!

DT trys to analyse "pairs of tagging". The database-table "tagxtag" has
2.2 Million entries for my 45K pictures.
Typing in the tag-mask seems to freeze the programm. I have to wait many
seconds.
I would like to switch this feature off for faster work.

Hi,
on my Ubuntu-Linux the configurations are in

~/.config/darktable/

The Database: ~/.config/darktable/library.db

The Thumbnail-Cache in
 /~/.cache/darktable/
will be build new when first looking at a picture.

It is also possible to build all thumbs with a terminal-command:

$ darktable-generate-cache

I started making panoramas freehand from a hill, (far away) landscape only.

Then use a tripod on a place in town, with no near objects.

Next I build a primitive bracket, which does it's job for a year or two.
See bottom of: http://www.fotodrachen.de/nodal.htm (german text).

At last I got a professional one ...

But we're a bit "off toppic" here in the darktable-list  ;-)

Hi,
maybe the text-size is defined in CSS - like a website.

Look at file (in Ubuntu):
 /usr/share/darktable/darktable.css

Try to replace this file from a fresh installation or from

https://redmine.darktable.org/projects/darktable/repository/revisions/master/entry/data/darktable.css.in

First time when browsing lighttable after import, thumbs of different
sizes are generated. They are cached, second time is much faster.

You can seed the cache from terminal.

Re: [darktable-user] Migration from Shotwell (Ubuntu) to darktable (Mac OS 10.11.5)

That was my start-point.
Look at line 6 of my script:

  # Based on an idea of Antoine Beaupre
http://redmine.darktable.org/issues/9461

I think I made it a bit more comfortable.


> You’re probably right, but I have found that darktable can handle a
hierarchical tag and a simple tag at the same time.

Yes, sure it can handle multiple *different* tags.
Klick on first tag *OR* second tag finds the same picture.

But importing the hierarchy from Shotwell means same tags, not different
tags.

Example:

Shotwell seems to search with "equal".
Tags are:
  "/persons"
+ "/persons/friends"
+ "/persons/friends/John Do"

Klick on "friends" searches: WHERE tags = '/persons/friends'

Darktable seems to search with SQL-"like".
Tag is "persons|friends|John Do".
Klick on "friends" searches: WHERE tags LIKE '/persons/friends%'.
The Wildcard % includes "John Do".

Wrong import:
  "|persons"
+ "|persons|friends"
+ "|persons|friends|John Do"

The SQL-LIKE-Search find more then one Tag pointing to the same set of
pictures. You have to use "SELECT DISTINCT .." to get every picture only
once.


> ... try to find anomalies in the tags.

Ideas:

- Do Ubuntu and Mac have the same coding (UTF-8)?
  In Germany we have some special Characters (ä,ö,ü,ß) that can cause
some trouble. In Scandinavia they have some characters that I cant find
on my keyboard. When transferring the SQL-file (txt) from one system to
another you may use "save as ... UTF-8" in your editor.
Sometimes that is a problem when copying files from Windows (ANSI) to
Linux (UTF-8). Sometimes it is no Problem with characters like
a-z,A-Z,0-9 but often with special/national characters.

- Do you have characters in the tag, that are used in SQL: % ; ' " \
  Darktable may handle this when typing it in the screen.
  But you put it directly into the database.


> .. are you using darktable on a Mac now, or have you simple transferred from

My System is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (waiting for Upgrade to 16.04 LTS).
Shotwell and Darktable in the same environment.

There are different "times" in Exif.
You have to change the field "DateTimeOriginal".

I'm scanning my old slides and import them to darktable.
The scanning-software sets the date of scanning.
Before I import the files I set the date with commands like:

exiv2 -M"set Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal '1991-06-18 00:00:00'"
